Possible Keep - and review - YouLookFab Forum

You possibly remember my struggles with BR chambray tunic which had a defective placket and was pulling at the chest. I decided to order another one - just in case if mine was a weird oddball.
While I was ordering my eye also fell on the soft wash chambray BF shirt in a brighter blue. Well, it arrived yesterday and when I got it out of the package I was immediately smitten with the fabric. It is incredible: soft, drapes like a dream, feels like the best quality silk (even though it is viscose / lyocell blend). It even has a light sheen to it - sooo beautiful! (can you see I am infatuated already ) BTW this is this shirt in this pin

Please not that it is not styled in the pictures at all - I just popped it over culottes I had on last night. I would wear it untuckes with skinnies or tucked or semi-tucked for culottes, BT+F jeans , etc.

Now I need some independent view on the style and fit as I very well may be blinded by the beautiful fabric here. What do you think of the style and the fit? This is size L - should I try size down as well? For comparison I added a picture of the chambray tunic - it feels much stiffer than this one.

Thank you in advance!

I love it! Beautiful colour too. I think you may need the next size down tho.

marianna

Gorgeous shirt. I'd try a size down to compare.

Mona

The first one looks amazing, Sveta. Are you going to order a size down?

Just ordered size M before they are gone - L is not available anymore!
Have to run to work - thanks for your help ladies!

I agree with the others - colour is amazing, but I think a size down would suit you better! Hope you'll post a new pic when it arrives

Tanya

Gorgeous color, but it swamps you, I would certainly try a size down.

Suz

I hope the size down will work -- it's a lovely colour for you!

The drape and colour are fab. I would definitely try the size down.

It is stunning (such a beautiful shade of blue, and amazing fabric) and I want one too:-) I too would like to see the size down on you, Sveta, so good job acting fast and ordering it before it's sold out:-)

Jaime

The color is amazing on you and I rather like it with the culottes - size down and it will be perfect.

Joy

This color was made for you. I hope the size down works, but if not, maybe taking in the sides just a bit will make a big difference.

I'm glad you are trying the size down. The colour looks great on you, and the shirt seems to have a nice drape.

Janet

Beautiful color, and I'm glad you ordered the next size down -- I think that will work better.

texstyle

Agree with others - the size down might be perfect. Beautiful color on you!

I prefer the first shirt, Sveta. Sorry to be a spanner. Do try a size down though - that could help a lot. It's a gorgeous colour on you.

Great color, but size down! Love the chambray tunic in nr 4, too!

Thank you for the feedback.
Angie, the tunic from the previous post is size M. I ordered size L first in it as well and it was too big - in more obvious way than this one. Trying on the new shirt I realized what bothered me about the first ty=unic (aside from the defective placket of course) - the stiffness of the fabric. I remember thinking that maybe it will soften after a wash...this new BF shirt does not have this problem at all. I also hope it will be easier to tuck in bcasue it is so soft.
I will be waiting for the size M and reserve my judgement until then :-0 Most likely the shirt show off happens when I am back from my vacation so stay tuned!
